Fredrick Brennan / Hotwheels / ctrlcctrlv / copypaste / Psiĥedelisto - 8chan Founder Turned Anti-Kiwi Activist, Former Wizardchan Admin, Font Aficionado, Eugenicist

[Boris Blank's glass eye]

And here I thought he left 8chan behind. Even after all these years of bashing the site along with anyone who ever had anything to do with running it, he still has a soft spot for the people who made it the infamous shit hole we remember it as today.

Those were his glory days, the times when he had some relevance.

He's talking to his Twitter followers. Fredrick has the unfortunate habit of always finding some way to talk down to the in-group he solicits acceptance from. It's why he always ends up hated and rejected.

He probably views himself as some sort of supervillain who should be in charge, like the dude in Unbreakable. Meanwhile he's just a fat perverted retarded incel, although he openly looked down on the other fat perverted retarded incels on wizchan.

He's a fat furry faggot displaying terminal amounts of USI. I've read his Medium post during work and it's fucking idiotic. Can be summed up as "Dear channers I used to be one of you and I reject NFTs and Bored Ape Yacht Club and so should you. Never mind I'm like two months late to the party and I'm using sources none of you would accept - that doesn't mean the well is poisoned. [Obviously that last part doesn't apply to K*w*f*rms and Joshua Connor "Null" Moon]." last part added by me

He's high off pain pills, pure copium, and his own farts.

talking to himself about @Null while quote-tweeting a locked account. (thread, if anyone's following notpiika and can see what autism lurks there)

this is 69420 KIWI-FM, spinning a request for a lonely fella by the name of Frederick. that's 69420 KIWI-FM, the radio station with all the hits.

I mean, he's not wrong. I got told to come to a coffee shop because Jim was going to offer me $2000/mo and paid rent in the nice part of Manila. When Jim arrives, the first order of business is locking down the source. I told him I probably can't even do that legally because we crowd funded it as open source. I also told him that I was against the idea. The discussion lasts maybe 2 minutes before Jim literally storms out like a child.

Frederick ended up taking his side, even though AGPL was his idea. I didn't know anything about licenses at the time. I emailed Stallman about it and he replied with AGPL being the best license

Fun fact: if you mention me or kiwi farms on 4chan to this day, you will cause extreme seething on every single board. 8chan gets brought up as 100% my fault, or they complain the KF took down some pedophile site called AllTheFallen, which I only know about because people think I killed it.

50% of those complaints are from @copypaste and the other 50% are from hunter biden

Null does it ever get tiring having all these people who think they know you but only know memes and shitposts?

I sorta forgot what happened with Infinity Next. I just remember you and Freddy asking for donations, you posting updates, then the test run came about and it was a shit show. Then it just fizzled out and died. Was it Jim that pulled the plug on the project?

Was a shame to. There was features I really liked such as embedded mp3 files (think ogg and flac to?). I am sure I am forgetting a few other additional ones as well.

Edit: Sorry for the misquote.

Was it Jim that pulled the plug on the project?

Jim said he was going to have nothing to do with the project after that. It was late into it (November?) and by December/January we were having money problems. We actually didn't raise as much money as we needed (it was $12,000 for the entire project and something like half of that came from Fredrick directly). In January I was extremely stressed out and when my first tests didn't work I couldn't figure out why.

I remember how bad that all felt. To work so hard on something and not see it happen is a kind of indescribable pain. OdiliTime had set up a copy of Infinity Next on his personal hardware and we did a test on it with live traffic from 8chan. It ran like butter. Everyone was happy. People even started talking about moving over to the demo site until it was available on 8chan live. But my copy of it with live data from 8chan on production hardware just didn't work. 100% CPU usage everywhere. I started throwing caches on everything, I had no idea what was wrong. My profiling tools picked up nothing. I told Fredrick I lost faith in the project and he agreed and said fuck off. That's how it ended.

A few months later, I'm back in Florida and I look at the source code again for the first time since leaving. I immediately figure out what the issue is. Fredrick had built a custom CAPTCHA like he had for Infinity. This used a quadratic sine to distort the text pixel by pixel. With all the traffic, every page load also generated a subsequent request which made one of these very complex CAPTCHA images. That's why it didn't show up on my profiling: the load was on a 2nd request I wasn't monitoring. OdiliTime's server worked just fine because I told him to disable the CAPTCHA so people could spam - thinking the stress test would come from the posting, but the issue was the CAPTCHA the entire time.

It was really that close. If the CAPTCHA issue had gotten solved when I was basically not sleeping and spending every waking second on getting it out, it would have launched. If Jim had supported the project financially and gotten us a full year of development time, it would have launched. Alas.

I tend to believe things happen for a reason. I was clearly not meant to be cohorts with Jim Watkins and Fredrick Brennan hooking up with brown girls in the Philippines. I was meant to be somewhere else with better people.

Thank you for taking the time to type this. I am almost certain your code got forked correct? I swear there was a chan or two in a webring that utilized it. If so, at least part of that hard work lives on.

Hey, man. Clearly I’ve never had anything like a real stake in any of this, but for the sake saying so, I think a lot of us caught some distant echo of the disappointment you guys went through.

And I literally kept thinking Fred was a decent guy until a week or so ago when I saw this thread. Then looking at it, I don’t see anything you ever actually did that deserves or justifies the way Fred is acting.

That’s why I settled on thinking that he’s just like, intentionally convincing himself that everything that ever touched 8chan was shit including you. If he can stay angry then he gets out of being sad. That’s literally the only benefit I can see.

Love the MATI streams btw.

Well, until that happens, thanks for putting up with us schmucks here.

 

[Blewberry Nausea]

I really don’t know if I could open up like Josh does about this shit know how everything he says is a thing they can twist to use against him. They have attacked his livelihood, his familial relationships, anything they could get at because he posted some shit on the internet.

Here’s a hint retards, saying edgelord shit online is different than doing that shit for reals. I feel like post 2003 or so people forgot the internet is NOT serious business 99% of the time and made every attempt to construe things in the worst possible way. Does that mean I love Null? Fuck no I never met the dude or know anything about him except third hand shit. I know he values free speech or we wouldn’t be here let alone be allowed to call him a retard if he is sometimes. He is just some dude trying to do a thing I just happen to agree with it really.

There are some people who want to make the current Internet a squeaky clean family-friendly corporate environment and erase all remnants of (pre-)2000's Internet especially their own pasts. Like Filthy Frank. I don't doubt Fredo drinks the current year Flavor-Aid but he's also actively trying to "atone" for his past as the once owner and admin of "the Awesomely Based Fullchan which puts the cucked Halfchan to shame" and it's all useless. His platform allowed GamerGate and QAnon to thrive, after all. Quite literally his current livelyhood depends on it - same old story as Haberman and the Metokur forums or Sherrod "Girlvinyl" DeGrippo and the old Encyclopedia Dramatica. What a shitshow that was.

 

[JustSomeDong]

I tend to think of the internet as somewhere you can be both your best and worst self, but never your true self. I never assume I know shit about anybody on the internet, save the cows that broadcast their entire lives (without those blessed bovine fools, we would be deprived of so very much entertainment), and even then, only an idiot assumes he has a full picture.

 

[Blewberry Nausea]

Look I don’t know what the internet is, but I know what it is not. It is not your personal hugbox. If you come at it with that mentality and act like your ‘true’ self you will end up on someone’s radar and probably deserve it. I am not saying fringe groups can’t find friends online but when you are terminally online it is only a question of when you end up having to defend yourself from drama. Just have some goddamn humility and ability to admit when you are wrong and you’ll never be a cow. So many don’t get it.

I thought DeHippo not only got an actual career but even lost weight and turned back into DeGrippo.

It can be crucial, to step away & look fresh, when working on a big project or labor of love. Asking, “well, what’s different?” about the version running smooth, versus fucked up, & it was the damn CAPTCHA Freddit monitored from his end. I’d be angry at myself for not catching that right away, but more so disappointed at another business partner for claiming it was my code. (Iirc, Freddit’s Medium post made it out to be your codes fault, but it’s been awhile since reading.) I like to think that things work out, too, (ie things happening for a reason, etc) though hearing about Infinity Next’s alleged “fatal flaw,” & that it was CAPTCHA jank, much like an after-market, unvetted part, swapped on by a different request) makes Freddit’s sour grapes all the more apparent & clear. Misrepresenting that doesn’t make him look better, either.
